I love the fact that the reason for education is no longer for development of human capital and teaching skills for employment, but a general respect for life, dignity, equal rights and shared responsibilities. I have to move away from my own interests and consider the needs of others.

EFA is a very selective program that helps people all around the world to learn and get knowledge everywhere and in various contexts. It offers equality among all people in different countries.
